On the recordApril 28, 1998
I would just like to close, Mr. Speaker, by saying that this is not just an issue that is considered here in Congress. I have here a copy of Time Magazine from, I believe, March 1994, and it features an article about this issue, and it has a picture of one of these great cats on the cover; and the headline here on the cover is ``Doomed, Why the Real Tiger is on the Brink of Extinction.'' And it goes on at some length in the feature story to talk about tigers on the brink. ``Once considered a conservation success story, they are again sliding towards extinction. This time the world's nations may not be able to save these great cats.'' And that is what we are here today making an effort to do.
